Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 437

Chapter 437

Yamanaka Clan’s place.

Yamanaka Inoichi once again came to the room where Ao was imprisoned.

Since Lain brought back this ninja from Kirigakure a few days ago, Yamanaka Inoichi had come in a dozen times in the past few days.

The Yamanaka clansmen felt a bit strange, but Yamanaka Inoichi did not say anything, and they were not qualified to ask anything.

A few moments later, Yamanaka Inoichi came out of the house with a slightly tired expression. Yamanaka Inoichi’s expression was clearly seen by Yamanaka Ryo, who happened to return to Konoha.

When Yamanaka Inoichi left, Yamanaka Ryo teleported to the room. Ao’s Chakra was sealed, and so did his eyes. So, he couldn’t notice Yamanaka Ryo’s arrival.

Yamanaka Ryo was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ao and started to invade Ao’s brain.

However, Yamanaka Ryo didn’t expect that Ao had too much memory in his brain. If he wanted to find what Ao wished to know from his memory, he was afraid he would have to keep searching every day for months to find it.

The pleasant Spiritual space was fragile, and no one could persist for months in a row.

Yamanaka Ryo sighed helplessly. His consciousness left Ao’s brain, and he teleported to Yamanaka Inoichi’s house.

...........

Knock–

“Come in!”

“It’s Ryo! What can I do for you?” Yamanaka Inoichi asked, bracing himself.

“Brother Inoichi, don’t you know why I came? Some things can’t be hidden.”

Yamanaka Inoichi asked with a bitter smile, “What do you want to know?”

“Brother Inoichi, what is sister-in-law’s real identity? What did she bring to Konoha? What agreement did you and Third Hokage have that year? Please tell me.”

“Don’t deny it. If you can make the Kirigakure remember it after many years, it must be crucial. Also, if sister-in-law can touch and take this thing, her identity can’t be as simple as a Chunin. This is not a trivial matter, and brother Inoichi, you are hiding it. If this continues, it will not be good for our Yamanaka Clan!”

Yamanaka Inoichi was silent. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before finally sighed helplessly and said, “I’ll start with the identity of your sister-in-law!”

“As you guessed, your sister-in-law is indeed not an ordinary Chunin. She is the disciple of Sandaime Mizukage and the person in charge of the Seven Ninja Swords summon scrolls.”

“This summon scroll was born with Seven Ninja Swords. It was the only way to summon the Seven Ninja Swords. Back then, she left Kirigakure with this scroll.”

Yamanaka Ryo frowned remembered that Hozuki Mangetsu once used summon scroll to roll out ninja sword in the original Naruto story.

Upon thinking of this, Yamanaka Ryo asked, “Brother Inoichi, where is this scroll?”

Yamanaka Inoichi sighed and continued, “After she returned to the village with me, she was taken away by Anbu. She then told the Third Hokage that she had agreed to marry me.”

“I never knew how she persuaded the Third Hokage until Lain sent Ao a few days ago. She looked particularly panic after seeing Ao Kirigakure’s headband. No matter how I comforted her, she was still anxious. I couldn’t bear to look at her like this, so I asked her why.”

“At this time, she told me what had happened. She used the ninja sword summon scroll and carved a special seal on the tongue. At the expense of the Third Hokage, she could marry me.”

“The seal on her tongue is what Danzo engraved to restrain her from saying things about ninja sword summon scroll.”

“After so many years, neither of us knows the specific whereabouts of the scroll. The Third Hokage only knows the estimate of its location. “

After listening to Yamanaka Inoichi’s words, Yamanaka Ryo bowed his head and digested for a long time, and then asked, “Brother Inoichi, what are you looking for in Ao?”

“I just want to figure out how much Ao knows about her this time. Is this mission as simple as recovering ninja sword summon scroll?”

“And the result?”

Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head, “Ao is complicated to deal with. He has a hard mouth and too many memories in his head. I mostly gain nothing after so many days.”

“At most? Is that mean you still got some valuable information?”

“Well! In Ao’s memory, I found that Anbu of Kirigakure has seen the summon scroll of ninja sword back then. The most important thing is that this person also summoned five of the ninja sword.”

Yamanaka Ryo frowned, ‘Summoned five of the ninja sword.’? What’s wrong with this?”

“She told me that this scroll could only be used by Hozuki Clan or someone who has mastered special Secret Jutsu. She only knows part of Secret Jutsu and can only summon two of the ninja sword. If this person can summon five ninja sword means that this person has mastered the Secret Jutsu.”

“Konoha didn’t have Hozuki Clan’s Ninja. So, all Secret Jutsu of summoning of ninja sword was only known by her. Only people like her who guard the summon scroll could only know a part of it. “

Yamanaka Ryo then realized, “Brother Inoichi, do you mean that the user of this scroll is not Konoha Ninja. The scroll is no longer in Konoha, right?”

Yamanaka Inoichi nodded and said, “I think so, because the Secret Jutsu that she gave to the village can summon two ninja swords, and the village people can’t learn the rest of the Secret Jutsu.”

Yamanaka Ryo sighed, then said, “Ugh! This is the problem. It seems that I have to go to the Third Hokage.”

“I’ll go along too! After all, I’m her husband and the head of the Yamanaka Clan. It’s more appropriate for me to step in.”

“Good. Then we will go together. Brother Inoichi, put your hand on my shoulder and close your eyes.”

Yamanaka Inoichi did as he was told. After a moment of spinning, the two brothers arrived at the home of the Third Hokage.

.............

The Third Hokage, who was teaching Sarutobi Konohamaru to practice, was startled by the sudden appearance of the two brothers, “Ryo, Inoichi! What brings you here?”

“Sandaime, we are looking for you for something. You see...”

Third Hokage frowned, then ask someone to take Konohamaru out.

“What is it? Now, you can say it!”

“It is like this. The third Hokage, we want to know where the ninja sword summon scroll that my sister-in-law gave to the village back then went?” Yamanaka Ryo got to the point without beating around the bush.

“Summon scroll of ninja sword? Is that why those people from Kirigakure turned their faces from the village?”

Yamanaka Ryo nodded, “Well, it is indeed so. This is why we want to know where did you put the summon scroll of ninja sword, Third Hokage?”

The Third Hokage thought about it and said, “I remember that at first, I put the scroll under Hokage’s Office where the scroll of seals was stored. Later Danzo said he wanted to study it, so I lent it to him.”

“However, after that, Danzo didn’t return it to me. When I asked him about it, he always used various reasons to put off...”

“It seems that at that time, the summon scroll of ninja sword was already not in the village. “
